Tight-Binding parameters for Lead


Lead (Pb)
Atomic Number 82
Atomic Weight 207.19
Room Temperature Structure fcc (A1)
Room Temperature Lattice Constant 0.495 nm

The s and p tight-binding parameters for lead were fit to first-principles Augmented Plane Wave (LAPW) results. The low-lying d eigenstates were ignored in the band structure fit. The following ranges were used:

Structure Minimum Lattice Constant (Bohr) Maximum Lattice Constant (Bohr)
fcc (A1)  9.30   9.80 
bcc (A2)  7.30   7.70 
Reference Proceedings of the International Symposium on Novel Materials, Bhubaneswar, India, March 3-7, 1997

Use of the parameters outside of these ranges may result in unphysical behavior.
